Chimp in Space = Dead Chimp


I think your find many a chimp was sent into space, most died. This film is kinda an insult to those dead chimps, the makers of this film making out that they are American heroes; in-fact they must have died a pretty terrible death.

...and Toy Story is an insult to all real toys out there, who have no real use of their legs, can't speak, etc. What a horrible life they must have.

Boy, people on this board really need some prozac...

if it makes you feel better, a documentary was made that basically pointed out that fact after Space Chimps came out. Personally I just figure it is a kids cartoon and not many of those are that true to real life now are they?

Dead chimps can't be insulted. They're dead. And chimps.

I don't think it's an insult at all. Don't get me wrong, I love animals, I'm a vegetarian. But it's just a kids movie, It's really not a big deal, just a movie...

Yeah and just thinking about them making a cartoon about such pioneers is sickening. But then again am sure there are some dogs out there who are pretty mad because no one even made a 30 second commercial about them and the great sacrifice they made so it would be safe for humans to go into outerspace. Laika's relatives must be rabid over the exclusion.

If I ever met a dead space chimp, I'd steal his banana-peel moon-wallet and get my $8 back.

Punching a dead chimp is just plain wrong. Now playing soccer with a dead chimp in the void of space, now that's a party!

I agree with the OP, it seriously is a messed up fact that the mortality rate with primates in space was so high, yet they made a kids movie about it.

Damn right. I remember seeing the trailer at the time and thinking it was way too creepy.

Chimps are fine with it. I watched it with my helper chimp and he had a good time.

Then he ripped your face off.
